Well, the flip phone is about 25 years old and the first digital "flip" designs were released about 20 years ago. The first flip phone cost about $2500 in 1989 dollars. Today it's hard to even buy a non-smartphone.
I think driver-less cars technology is about where cell phones were around 1980. They exist but most people haven't seen or driven one, they are very expensive and the technology is still not perfect.
Like most technology, driver-less cars will arrive and be the new thing for a while, then we'll all have them. Kids today don't know how to look up information without Google. Kids tomorrow may not learn how to drive.
